Cleverley scored his first goal for Sir Alex Ferguson's side in the Capital One Cup against Newcastle last month - and then promptly scored against the Magpies again in a 3-0 Premier League win on Sunday.

"It's amazing as the two goals I have scored for Manchester United have both been against Newcastle," he said.

"But this season it really feels like I am getting into scoring positions.

"I got into a couple against them when the ball has been pulled back to me - and all I can do is keep working on my finishing because it is such an important part of any midfielder's game."
